Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Italy: Fear of jihad terror attack sets off stampede, 1500 injured

Jun 5, 2017 8:47 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

“I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.” — Quran 8:12

With the ever-increasing number of jihad attacks in the Western countries, terror is being struck into the hearts of their citizens. The days of expecting peace and protection in a democratic society are over. The Western world is in turmoil, thanks to jihadists and leaders who strangely keep getting voted in while sacrificing the safety of their own jurisdictions and countries for political expediency.

The Telegraph was a little more descriptive about what happened:

The Turin prefect said in a statement that the crowd “was taken by panic and by the psychosis of a terror attack,” fearing that a loud noise was caused by attackers. The source of the loud noise that triggered the stampede remained unclear, officials said. Italian media has speculated it may have been a firecracker.

“Turin stampede: ‘1,500 injured’ at Juventus screening”, BBC News, June 4, 2017:

About 1,500 people were injured in the Italian city of Turin after a firecracker provoked a stampede on Saturday night, police say.
Thousands of football fans were watching a live relay of Juventus’ Champions League final against Real Madrid in Cardiff when a bang was heard and rumours of an explosion spread.

At least seven people, including a seven-year-old child, were seriously hurt, local media say.

It is the 12th Champions League title for Real Madrid.
With 10 minutes of the second half remaining, crowds rushed away from the centre of Piazza San Carlo, crushing people against barriers.
Bags and shoes were left scattered on the ground as people ran screaming out of the square.

Some of the injuries occurred when a barrier around the entrance to an underground car park gave way.

While most of the wounded had cuts on their legs and arms, seven were still in hospital, local media reported.

Three of them were reportedly in a critical condition, including a seven-year-old boy who had head and chest injuries after he was trampled by people rushing to escape.

There was anger locally that the authorities did not do more to put in place proper crowd control measures, the BBC’s James Reynolds in Rome reports….

      Read the Brighton story. The photo caption read: “Hard covered book with Arabic writing (in cloth bag) [found] on desk in living room.”

      Recipes? For Jihad?

    The whole purpose of a terror campaign is to get people so scared they’ll jump at anything.

    Even if this was just some jerk thinking it would be funny, now?

    Terrorists don’t need anything but a firecracker to injure hundreds.

    I told liberals a long time ago, “While these nuts are blowing up planes you guys couldn’t care less. You say you hardly fly, so what are the odds?

    “Wait until these b****ds start doing places like grocery stores or something, places almost goes to every single day. You’ll be crying when you have to worry about getting shot just going for a loaf of bread.”

    Next they’ll be yelling “Fire!” in movie theaters.

      Exactly this! This is their goal: To get us sufficiently scared, like sheep, that they no longer even need to actually bomb us. The muslims are destroying the western way of life. It’s been happening since 9/11.

      This article shows you just how bad things are in Europe.

    In 1978 FALN bomb kills 4 at Fraunces Tavern New York.

    Clinton gave amnesty to the killers for political reasons (votes). Will the left in Europe do the same with these Islamic perpetrators.

    Read the story here.

    I feel so sorry for all the people who got injured. I can only imagine how terrified they must have been–and who wouldn’t be? I’ve been keeping my guard up even going to the store, half-afraid of a gunman bursting in.

    It’s not just the death toll that’s bad–it’s also what this does to everyone’s mental health. I don’t know how Israelis have gritted through these types of attacks for so long, they’re resilient.

    Again, a reminder to everyone to write/call/E Mail your government representatives and senators and the Supreme Court, and push for them to support the travel ban, and support Middle East safe-zones as a safer way to handle the refugee crisis.

    Opinion surveys consistently reveal that majorities in every country don’t want more Muslim immigrants. The elites, however, pay no attention and keep bringing them in. Every citizenry has the right to defend itself from perceived threats. If not, there is no democracy.
